About this book
Poppy once believed her duty as the Maiden was a sacred calling, but that illusion has shattered. Betrayed and held captive by Casteel Da’Neer, the seductive Dark One of Atlantia, she finds herself thrust into a world where everything she was taught is a lie. As she grapples with her identity outside the veil, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with the very man she vowed to destroy.
This gripping installment in the Blood and Ash series masterfully blends high-stakes urban fantasy with an intense, slow-burn paranormal romance. Casteel is a master of manipulation, using his lethal charm to keep Poppy close, while she fights to reconcile her growing desire for him with her desperate need to find her long-lost brother. The tension between them is electric, fueled by a dangerous game of vengeance and discovery that threatens to rewrite the history of two warring kingdoms.
For readers craving a story where royalty, betrayal, and supernatural power collide, this sequel delivers an addictive experience. It pushes the boundaries of loyalty and passion, leaving you breathless as Poppy discovers that the most dangerous enemy is often the one who makes your heart beat the fastest.

This book was everything I could have hoped for and ... more, more, more. There are few things that compare to reading the sequel of a book you adore and realizing that sequel is even better. And if there’s one sequel that fits this distinction, it’s this one.

Everything I loved about the first book: the action, THE ROMANCE, the banter, the...
